There’s a new offensive approach in the Pacific Northwest. Sam Darnold is the Seattle Seahawks’ starting quarterback, and there’s still some work to be done.

Durde was running the defense, calling its plays, because head coach Mike Macdonald was away from the team Monday morning. A team spokesman said it was a personal reason and that the Seahawks expected the 37-year-old Macdonald back as early as Monday afternoon. Macdonald will be back leading practice Tuesday.
